Mista Sinista & Roc Raida - Lesson #1 (1996)

I've had this tape for ages (think it's another one Tobes gave me) but for one reason or another never got around to ripping it. Possibly because I thought it was going to be an hour of **fresh! aaahh!** being scratched to death with a 9 minute Peter Piper routine at the end. I'm pleased to say that it's not, and it's actually a nice selection from the summer of '96...

Roc Raida 'What187 FM' (2000)

Dope tape by the late great Roc Raida. The tracklist is standard golden era fare (which wasn't as played out back then) flawlessly mixed and blended, interspersed with a couple of guest routines from Q-Bert and Total Eclipse, plus various skits from the hosts of WHAT187 FM and the sort of humour that was ubiquitous on turntablist mixtapes back then.
